Answer:
VW=35
YZ=50
Step-by-step explanation:
As they are similar triangles with a ratio of 1:2 and we know VW:XZ=1:2, we can make the equation:
2(4y+7)=12y-14
8y+14=12y-14
4y=28
y=7
So, VW=4(7)+7=35.
Similarly, you can find YZ through VT:
2(7x-17)=8x+2
14x-34=8x+2
6x=36
x=6
Therefore, YZ=8(6)+2=50.
